QNB Turkey has been recognized with four awards at both regional and national levels at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2025, thanks to its pioneering practices in digitalization and sustainable finance.
Organized by Euromoney, one of the world’s leading financial publications, the Awards for Excellence 2025 honored QNB Turkey for its holistic approach to digitalization and sustainability. The bank received two major international awards for its achievements in sustainable finance and SME digital banking across the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region, as well as two national awards in Turkey for its work in ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and digital banking solutions tailored for SMEs.
QNB Turkey was named "Best Digital SME Bank in Turkey" for the second consecutive year and was also awarded "Best Digital SME Bank in Central and Eastern Europe", reinforcing its leadership in digitalization on a regional scale. In addition to its banking solutions, the bank’s Digital Bridge Platform — which offers more than 20 digital tools designed specifically for SMEs — continues to serve as a trusted partner in SMEs’ digital transformation journeys.
In the area of sustainable finance, QNB Turkey was honored with the “Best ESG Deal in Central and Eastern Europe” award for its pioneering transactions: a $25 million blue bond — the first of its kind in Turkey and one of the few globally — issued in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group; and a $100 million green bond issued jointly with IFC and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Additionally, the bank was recognized as "Best ESG Bank in Turkey" for its ESG performance, integrated reporting approach, and strong focus on environmental and social impact.
Commenting on these achievements, QNB Turkey CEO Ömür Tan said:
“At QNB Turkey, we are proud to have been recognized across four different categories by such a prestigious global platform. As a bank, we see it as a strategic priority to support SMEs with inclusive digital solutions while also developing financial models that contribute to sustainable development. These achievements not only reflect our current efforts but also our strong commitment to shaping the future of transformation. I believe these awards are a testament to the impact of our international initiatives and that we will continue to build on this success going forward. I would like to thank all our team members and stakeholders who have supported us throughout this journey.”
With its continued investments in digitalization and sustainable finance, QNB Turkey remains committed to contributing to the future of the Turkish economy while steadily strengthening its regional leadership.
